PREFACE 

AN  attempt  has  been  made  in  this  book  to 
give  a  complete  list  of  Lowell's  writings,  and  a  se 
lected  list  of  what  is  most  important  that  has  been 
said  about  him,  for  the  use  of  students,  librarians, 
collectors,  and  others.  No  one  who  has  any  idea 
of  what  such  a  work  implies  in  its  preparation  can 
anticipate  that  it  will  be  complete  in  every  par 
ticular  or  free  from  errors.  The  compiler  has 
tried  to  avoid  unnecessary  blunders,  and  to  make 
his  work  a  helpful  guide  to  those  who  may  need 
it.  As  a  literary  worker  he  has  had  in  mind  the 
requirements  of  students  rather  than  collectors  in 
the  arrangement  of  his  materials.  At  the  same 
time,  he  has  anticipated  the  demand  of  the  bib 
liographer  for  details  and  accuracy. 

After  a  chronological  list  of  Lowell's  books, 
and  another  of  Lowell  bibliographies,  there  is 
given  an  alphabetical  arrangement  of  his  single 
titles,  including  poems,  essays,  criticisms,  speeches, 
etc.  In  this  list  of  single  titles  the  place  and 
date  of  the  first  appearance  of  each  piece  is 
briefly  noted,  also  the  place  and  date  of  its  book 
publication.  Important  changes  are  noted,  but 
no  attempt  has  been  made  to  give  every  form 
in  which  any  poem  or  essay  has  appeared.  In 


[  viii  ] 

this  list  the  prose  titles  have  been  printed  in 
roman,  the  poems  in  italic,  and  the  book  titles 
in  small  capitals. 

The  early  poems  were  in  1877  separated  into 
"Earlier"  and  "Miscellaneous,"  and  these  per 
manent  divisions  have  been  indicated  by  brackets. 
The  same  has  been  done  for  "Memorial  Verses" 
and  "Poems  of  the  War,"  to  signify  their  sepa 
ration  from  previous  collections  or  groups. 

The  single  works  have  been  grouped  together, 
in  order  that  the  various  editions  and  other 
bibliographical  details  may  be  fully  noted.  There 
has  been  added  a  list  of  the  most  important 
criticisms,  guides  to  study,  and  book-sale  prices. 
It  is  hoped  this  arrangement  will  prove  help 
ful,  not  only  to  students,  but  also  to  librarians 
and  bibliographers.  To  bring  everything  relat 
ing  to  each  of  the  books  together  it  has  been 
thought  will  prove  a  useful  arrangement. 

Under  the  head  of  complete  editions  will  be 
found  noted  the  successive  additions  which  have 
been  made  to  them,  and  the  changes  which 
have  been  made  in  the  arrangement  of  titles 
and  books.  The  contents  of  the  several  editions 
are  given  whenever  there  have  been  additions 
or  rearrangements. 

Since  many  of  the  notices  and  criticisms 
do  not  relate  to  particular  books,  an  alphabetical 
list  has  been  given  of  those  most  worthy  of 


[ix] 

attention,  which  repeats  those  presented  under 
the  individual  titles.  Lowell  made  a  large  num 
ber  of  speeches  and  addresses,  the  titles  of  which 
it  has  been  thought  best  to  place  together,  in 
order  that  their  various  repetitions  and  publica 
tions  may  be  noted. 

Lowell  frequently  changed  the  titles  of  his 
poems.  Wherever  this  was  done  they  have  been 
listed  under  both  titles.  Under  each  the  title 
is  given  in  brackets  as  it  appeared  in  the  peri 
odical  or  book  mentioned,  having  its  place  on 
the  same  line. 

The  exact  title-page  of  each  of  Lowell's  books 
is  given  as  it  was  worded  in  the  first  edition. 
Following  the  title-page  date  is  given  that  of 
copyright  and  of  actual  publication  in  brackets, 
in  those  instances  where  the  two  do  not  agree. 

In  order  to  make  this  work  more  nearly  com 
plete,  it  has  been  thought  best  to  include  the 
prices  at  which  first  editions  have  been  sold  in 
recent  years.  These  vary  greatly,  the  price  de 
pending  on  the  condition  of  the  book,  the  com 
peting  demand  for  it,  and  whether  it  has  special 
features  which  commend  it  to  collectors.  It  is 
impossible  in  many  instances  to  recover  these 
details,  therefore  the  prices  given  are  suggestive 
only  of  what  the  first  editions  are  likely  to  bring 
when  in  good  condition.

The  titles  of  poems  are  given  in  italic,  prose  articles  in  ro- 
man,  and  book-titles  in  small  capitals.  If  the  last  entry  under 
a  title  is  not  that  of  one  of  Lowell's  books  now  published,  or  a 
division  in  his  Complete  Poems,  it  indicates  that  that  title  has 
not  been  retained  by  the  author  in  his  authorized  works.  When 
the  titles  of  poems  or  essays  have  been  changed,  both  are  listed, 
that  belonging  to  the  volume  indicated  being  enclosed  in  brackets.

Their  Classmate. 

[v]  Preface. 

Many  of  my  readers,  and  all  my  friends,  know  that  it  was 
not  by  any  desire  of  mine  that  this  rather  slim  production 
is  printed.  Circumstances  known  to  all  my  readers,  and 
which  I  need  not  dilate  on  here,  considerably  cooled  my 
interest  in  the  performance.  Many  of  the  lines,  though 
in  fact  they  would  even  then  be  indifferent  good,  I  should 
prefer  if  possible  to  see  in  prose.  Sed  Dis  aliter.  Many  were 
written  merely  as  rough  draughts,  which  I  intended  to 
have  altered  and  revised,  but  the  change  of  feeling,  men 
tioned  above,  has  prevented,  and  rough  draughts  they 
are  still.  There  are  a  few  grains  of  gold,  at  least  tinsel,  in 
the  composition,  but  the  lead  —  oh  word  infaust  to  poets! 
—  will,  I  fear,  far  outweigh  them.  A  few  passages  I  have 
omitted,  whose  place  is  sufficiently  well  supplied  by  asterisks.

[v]    [Dedication.] 

The  gentle  Una  I  have  loved, 

The  snowy  maiden,  pure  and  mild, 
Since  ever  by  her  side  I  roved, 

Through  ventures  strange,  a  wandering  child, 
In  fantasy  a  Red  Cross  Knight, 
Burning  for  her  dear  sake  to  fight. 

If  there  be  one  who  can,  like  her, 
Make  sunshine  in  life's  shady  places, 

One  in  whose  holy  bosom  stir 
As  many  gentle  household  graces,  — 

And  such  I  think  there  needs  must  be,  — 

Will  she  accept  this  book  from  me  ?

Hope  first  the  gentle  Poet  leads, 
And  lie  is  glad  to  follow  her; 
Kind  is  she,  and  to  all  his  needs 
With  a  free  hand  doth  minister. 

But,  when  Hope  at  last  hath  fled, 

Cometh  her  sister  Memory; 

She  wreathes  Hope's  garlands  round  her  head, 

And  strives  to  seem  as  fair  as  she. 

Then  Hope  comes  back,  and  by  the  hand 
She  leads  a  child  most  fair  to  see, 
Who  with  a  joyous  face  doth  stand 
Uniting  Hope  and  Memory. 

So  brighter  grew  the  Earth  around, 
And  bluer  grew  the  sky  above; 
The  Poet  now  his  guide  hath  found, 
And  follows  in  the  steps  of  Love.

[v-vii]  To  WILLIAM  PAGE 

Mr  DEAR  FRIEND,  — 

The  love  between  us,  which  can  now  look  back  upon 
happy  years  of  still  enduring  confidence,  and  forward,  with 
a  sure  trust  in  its  own  prophecy  of  yet  deeper  and  tenderer 
sympathies,  as  long  as  life  shall  remain  to  us,  stands  in  no  need, 
I  am  well  aware,  of  so  poor  a  voucher  as  an  Epistle  Dedicatory. 
True,  it  is  one  of  Love's  chiefest  charms,  that  it  must  still  take 
special  pains  to  be  superfluous  in  seeking  out  ways  to  declare 
itself,  —  but  for  these  it  demands  no  publicity,  and  wishes  no 
acknowledgement.  But  the  admiration  which  one  soul  feels 
for  another  loses  half  its  warmth,  if  it  let  slip  any  opportunity 
of  making  itself  heard  and  felt  by  that  strange  Abbot  of 
Unreason  which  we  call  the  World.1  For  the  humblest  man's 
true  admiration  is  no  uncertain  oracle  of  the  verdict  of  Poster 
ity,  —  the  unerring  tribunal  where  Genius  is  at  last  allowed  the 
right  of  trial  by  its  peers,  and  to  which  none  but  sincere  and 
real  Greatness  can  appeal  with  an  unwavering  heart.  There 
the  false  witnesses  of  to-day  will  be  unable  to  appear,  being 
fled  to  some  hospitable  Texas  in  the  realms  of  Limbo,  beyond 
the  reach  of  its  jurisdiction  and  the  summons  of  its  apparitors. 
I  have  never  seen  the  works  of  the  Great  Masters  of  your 


[79] 

Art,  but  I  have  studied  their  lives,  and  I  am  sure  that  no  nobler, 
gentler,  or  purer  spirit  than  yours  was  ever  anointed  by  the 
Eternal  Beauty  to  bear  that  part  of  her  divine  message  which 
it  belongs  to  the  Great  Painter  to  reveal.  The  sympathy  of 
sister  pursuits,  of  an  agreeing  artistic  faith,  and,  yet  more,  of 
a  common  hope  for  the  final  destiny  of  man,  has  not  been 
wanting  to  us,  and  now  you  will  forgive  the  pride  in  having 
this  advantage  over  you,  namely,  of  telling  that  admiration  in 
public  which  I  have  never  stinted  to  utter  in  private.  You  will 
believe,  that,  as  your  winning  that  fadeless  laurel,  which  you 
deserve,  and  which  will  one  day  surely  be  yours,  can  never 
heighten  my  judgement  of  you,  so  nothing  that  is  not  in  your 
own  control  will  ever  lower  it,  and  that  I  shall  think  as  simply 
of  you  when  the  World's  opinion  has  overtaken  my  own,  as  now. 

As  the  swiftly  diverging  channels  of  Life  bear  wider  and 
wider  apart  from  us  the  friends  who  hoisted  sail  with  us  as 
fellow-mariners,  when  we  cast  off  for  the  voyage,  and  as  some, 
even,  who  are  yet  side  by  side  with  us,  no  longer  send  back  to 
us  an  answering  cheer,  we  are  drawn  the  more  closely  to  those 
that  remain,  and  I  would  fain  hope  that  this  joining  of  our 
names  will  always  be  one  of  our  not  least  happy  memories. 
And  so,  with  all  best  wishes, 

I  remain  always  your  friend, 

J.  R.  LOWELL.

James  Russell  Lowell  is  a  Young  American  Poet  of  great 
promise,  whose  writings  have  already  obtained  considerable 
reputation  in  his  own  country.  The  present  Volume,  recently 
published  in  New  York,  is  now  reprinted  in  London,  in  the 
belief  that  its  thoughtfulness  and  beauty  will  commend  it  to 
the  attention  of  the  English  Public;  more  especially  as  it  ap 
pears  to  furnish  a  fair  specimen  of  that  new  development 
of  intellect  and  feeling,  which  renders  much  of  the  recent 
literature  of  America  attractive  to  the  minds  of  many  Euro 
peans.

[iii]  To  my  Father,  Charles  Lowell,  D.  D.,  whom,  if  I  had 
not  the  higher  privilege  of  revering  as  a  parent,  I  should  still 
have  honored  as  a  man  and  loved  as  a  friend,  this  volume, 
containing  many  opinions  from  which  he  will  wholly,  yet  with 
the  large  charity  of  a  Christian  heart,  dissent,  is  inscribed,  by 
his  youngest  child. 

[iv]       "Hail,  bards  of  mighty  grasp!  on  you 
I  chiefly  call,  the  chosen  few, 
Who  cast  not  off  the  acknowledged  guide, 
Who  faltered  not,  nor  turned  aside, 
Whose  lofty  genius  could  survive 
Privation,  under  sorrow  thrive." 

WORDSWORTH. 

[v-viii]  To  THE  READER 

A  preface  is  always  either  an  apology  or  an  explanation;  and 
a  good  book  needs  neither.  That  I  write  one,  then,  proves  that 
I  am  diffident  of  the  merit  of  this  volume,  to  a  greater  degree, 
even,  than  an  author  must  necessarily  be. 

For  the  minor  faults  of  the  book,  the  hurry  with  which  it 
has  been  prepared  must  plead  in  extenuation,  since  it  was  in 
process  of  writing  and  printing  at  the  same  time,  so  that  I  could 
never  estimate  its  proportions  as  a  whole.  -This  must  excuse 
the  too  great  length  of  the  First  Conversation,  which  I  should 
have  divided,  had  I  known  in  time  how  it  would  have  grown 
under  my  hands,  which  I  trust  the  candid  reader  will  refer  to 
the  same  exculpatory  cause. 

The  substance  of  two  other  Conversations  appeared  more 
than  two  years  ago  in  the  "Boston  Miscellany,"  a  magazine 
conducted  by  my  friend,  N.  Hale,  Jr.,  Esq.  The  articles,  as 
then  written,  met  with  some  approbation,  and  I  had  often  been 
urged  to  reprint  them  by  friends  with  whose  wishes  it  was  as 
well  my  duty  as  my  delight  to  comply.  Yet  I  felt  strongly 
reluctant  in  this  matter;  and  my  reluctance  increased  after 
looking  over  the  articles  and  seeing  how  imperfect  they  were. 

It  then  occurred  to  me,  that,  by  throwing  them  into  the 
form  of  conversations,  greater  freedom  would  be  given  them, 
and  that  discursiveness,  which  was  their  chief  fault,  (among 
many  others,  of  style,)  would  find  readier  pardon.  Some  of 
the  deepest,  as  well  as  the  most  delightful  books,  have  been 


[84] 

written  in  this  form  in  our  own  language,  not  to  speak  of  its 
prevalent  use  among  the  Greeks  and  Latins.  I  need  only 
mention  the  names  of  Isaak  Walton,  Walter  Savage  Landor, 
and  Home  Tooke,  to  recall  to  mind  three  of  the  most  promi 
nent  among  many  English  examples.1 

I  had  no  intention  of  giving  them  anything  like  a  dramatic 
turn,  and  I  trust  I  shall  not  so  be  censured.  They  are  merely 
essays,  divided  in  this  way  to  allow  them  greater  ease  and 
frankness,  and  the  privilege  of  wandering  at  will.  That  this 
license  has  not  been  carried  to  a  greater  degree  than  is  war 
ranted  by  the  usual  suggestiveness  of  conversation  will,  I  think, 
be  conceded.  If  some  of  the  topics  introduced  seem  foreign 
to  the  subject,  I  can  only  say,  that  they  are  not  so  to  my  mind, 
and  that  an  author's  object  in  writing  criticisms  is  not  only  to 
bring  to  light  the  beauties  of  the  works  he  is  considering,  but 
also  to  express  his  own  opinions  upon  those  and  other  mat 
ters. 

Wishing,  as  I  did,  to  preserve,  as  far  as  possible,  unaltered, 
whatever  had  given  pleasure  to  others  in  the  articles  as  already 
written,  I  experienced  many  difficulties.  It  is  impossible  to 
weld  cast-iron,  and  I  had  not  tune  to  melt  and  recast  it. 

I  am  not  bold  enough  to  esteem  these  essays  of  any  great 
price.  Standing  as  yet  only  in  the  outer  porch  of  life,  I  cannot 
be  expected  to  report  of  those  higher  mysteries  which  lie  unre- 
vealed  in  the  body  of  the  temple.  Yet,  as  a  child,  when  he  has 
found  out  a  mean  pebble,  which  differs  from  ordinary  only  so 
much  as  by  a  stripe  of  quartz  or  a  stain  of  iron,  calls  his  com 
panions  to  behold  his  treasure,  which  to  them  also  affords 
matter  of  delight  and  wonder;  so  I  cannot  but  hope  that  my 
little  findings  may  be  pleasant  and  haply  instructive  to  some 
few. 

An  author's  opinions  should  be  submitted  to  no  arbitration 
but  that  of  solitude  and  his  own  conscience;  but  many  defects 
and  blemishes  in  his  mode  of  expressing  them  may  doubtless 
be  saved  him  by  submitting  his  work,  before  publication,  to  the 
judgement  of  some  loving  friend  —  and  if  to  the  more  refined 
eye  of  a  woman,  the  better.  But  the  haste  with  which  these 
pages  have  been  prepared  and  printed  has  precluded  all  but  a

A  FABLE  FOR  CRITICS 

Reader!  Walk  up  at  once  (it  will  soon  be 
too  late)  and  buy  at  a  perfectly  ruinous  rate  a 
FABLE  FOR  CRITICS;  or  Better  — I  like, 
as  a  thing  that  the  reader's  first  fancy  may 
strike,  an  old-fashioned  title-page,  such  as  pre 
sents  a  tabular  view  of  the  volume's  contents  — 
A  GLANCE  AT  A  FEW  OF  OUR  LITER 
ARY  PROGENIES  (Mrs.  Malaprop's  word) 
from  the  Tub  of  Diogenes.  That  is,  a  Series 
of  Jokes.  BY  A  WONDERFUL  QUIZ,  who 
accompanies  himself  with  a  rub-a-dub-dub,  full 
of  spirit  and  grace,  on  the  top  of  the  tub.  SET 
FORTH  IN  October  the  21st  day,  in  the 
year  '48.  By  G.  P.  PUTNAM,  Broadway. 

12mo,  pp.  [i]-iii,  [5]-78,  brown  cloth.  Half- 
title,  with  full-page  advertisement  of  Putnam's 
books  on  reverse,  opposite  title-page.  Rubri 
cated  title-page,  in  black  and  red,  with  "That 
is,  a  Series  of  Jokes,"  in  red,  while  "  set  forth  in  " 
is  in  black.  The  line,  "A  vocal  and  musical 
medley,"  is  wanting.  "By,"  before  G.  P. 
Putnam,  forms  a  single  line.  Rhymed  preface, 
in  prose  form  (contained  in  all  subsequent 
editions),  occupies  pp.  [i]-iii.  Headlines  over 
text,  with  a  small  vignette  of  harp  on  last  page. 
Cloth  of  the  binding  is  a  dark-brown  muslin, 


[89] 

with  simple  brown  stamp  on  sides,  with  pub 
lisher's  monogram  in  a  shield  in  the  middle,  and 
plain  gold  lettering  on  the  back. 

In  this  edition  there  are  several  misprints.  Page  25, 
line  10,  has  "cotilion;"  and  page  40,  line  21,  "  Goliah. " 
In  a  letter  to  Sydney  Howard  Gay,  December  20,  1848, 
Lowell  writes,  "Briggs  must  give  you  a  copy  of  the 
second  edition,  in  which  the  atrocious  misprints  of  the 
other  will  be  corrected." 

The  first  edition  was  advertised  for  October  20,  and 
was  ready  for  the  public  on  the  25th.  The  title-page 
stated  the  date  of  its  publication  as  the  21st,  which  was 
in  later  editions  changed  to  the  31st.  The  first  edition 
was  of  1000  copies,  was  printed  from  type,  and  the  forms 
were  distributed  as  soon  as  the  printing  was  completed. 
This  may  in  part  account  for  the  numerous  misprints. 

In  Putnam's  Book-list  for  1848  appeared  this  an 
nouncement: 

Fable  for  Critics:  A  New  Satirical  Poem;  or,  A  Glance  at 
a  Few  of  Our  Literary  Progenies.  By  a  Wonderful  Quiz.  1 
Vol.,  12mo,  boards,  50  cents;  cloth,  63  cents. 

***The  "Fable"  is  full  of  a  genial  humor,  and  abounds  in 
most  felicitous  satire  at  our  men  and  women  of  letters,  some 
of  whom  are  sketched  with  inimitable  skill  and  truthfulness. 

THE  SAME.    Second  Edition. 

Reader!  Walk  up  at  once  (it  will  soon  be  too 
late)  and  buy  at  a  perfectly  ruinous  rate  a 
FABLE  FOR  CRITICS;  or,  Better  (I  like, 
as  a  thing  that  the  reader's  first  fancy  may 
strike,  an  old-fashioned  title-page,  such  as 
presents  a  tabular  view  of  the  volume's  con 
tents)  A  GLANCE  AT  A  FEW  OF  OUR 
LITERARY  PROGENIES  (Mrs.  Mala- 
prop's  word)  from  the  Tub  of  Diogenes;  A 


[90] 

Vocal  and  Musical  Medley.  That  is,  a  Series 
of  Jokes.  BY  A  WONDERFUL  QUIZ,  who 

accompanies  himself  with  a  rub-a-dub-dub, 
full  of  spirit  and  grace,  on  the  top  of  the  tub. 
SET  FORTH  IN  October,  the  21st  day,  in  the 
year  '48.  G.  P.  PUTNAM,  Broadway. 

The  title-page  of  the  second  edition  differs  in  several 
essential  respects  from  the  first.  "A  vocal  and  musical 
medley"  has  been  added,  and  "by"  before  the  pub- 
Usher's  name  has  been  omitted.  The  parenthetical 
clause,  "I  like,  .  .  .  contents,"  has  been  enclosed  in 
parentheses.  In  some  copies  of  this  edition  the  publisher's 
address  is  changed,  as  noted  hereafter. 

The  second  edition  was  stereotyped  and  appeared 
early  in  January,  1849.  Some  of  the  misprints  were 
corrected;  but  a  curious  one  remained  on  page  54, 
line  18,  where  "censor"  appears  in  place  of  "censer," 
thus  spoiling  both  the  meaning  and  the  pun.  Three 
printings  of  this  edition  seem  to  have  taken  place  in  1849 
(though  each  has  been  called  an  edition);  the  first  in 
January,  the  second  in  February,  and  the  third  in 
November.  It  is  very  difficult  to  distinguish  the  several 
printings  of  the  second  edition,  five  or  six  copies  with 
distinctive  features  having  been  examined,  two  of  which 
appear  to  have  been  printed  or  bound-up  in  November. 
In  one  of  these  the  rhymed  preface  occupies  pp.  [iii]-v; 
text,  pp.  [7]-80.  There  are  no  headlines,  and  the  vignette 
on  last  page  is  absent.  The  only  signature  is  2*  on  page  33. 
No  advertisements.  In  another  copy  there  is  no  half- 
title;  and  the  names  of  the  printers,  Leavitt,  Trow  &  Co., 
appear  on  reverse  of  title-page.  "  A  Preliminary  Note  to 
the  Second  Edition"  follows  the  title-leaf,  unpaged, 
and  is  succeeded  by  the  rhymed  preface,  paged  [iii]-v. 
Putnam's  advertisement  at  the  end  is  dated  November, 
1848.  The  matter  on  each  page  is  identical  with  the  first 


[91] 

edition,  but  the  type  is  different,  and  the  pagination  is 
two  pages  ahead  in  all  printings  of  the  second;  that  is, 
page  7  of  the  second  corresponds  to  page  5  of  the  first 
edition.  There  is  no  ruled  headline.  In  another  copy 
the  rhymed  preface  is  first  and  is  followed  by  the  pre 
liminary  note. 

What  appears  to  be  a  fourth  printing  gives  the  address 
of  Putnam  as  10  Park  Place,  date  same  as  in  first  edition, 
with  rhyme  left  imperfect.  In  1890  Lowell  wrote:  "  Mr. 
Putnam,  I  believe,  never  discovered  that  the  title-page 
was  in  metre,  nor  that  it  was  in  rhyme  either.  Mr.  Nor 
ton  told  me  the  other  day  that  he  had  a  copy  of  some 
later  edition  (after  Putnam  had  changed  his  place  of 
business),  in  which  the  imprint  was  *  G.  P.  Putnam, 
Astor  (or  something)  Place.'  I  don't  remember  whether 
I  knew  of  it  at  the  time,  but  had  I  known,  I  should  have 
let  it  pass  as  adding  to  the  humor  of  the  book."  This 
edition  has  no  advertising  pages,  and  the  "  Preliminary 
Note"  is  after  the  rhymed  preface.  Muslin  binding, 
blind  stamp  on  sides,  with  oval  in  centre,  and  blind  lines 
at  the  top  and  bottom  of  the  back. 

THE  SAME.     Fifth  edition,  Boston :  Ticknor  and 
Fields,  1856. 

12mo.  Bottom  of  title-page  after  "top  of  the

but  different  type.  "Candid  remarks  to  the 
Reader,"  pp.  [iii]-v.  "Preliminary  Note,"  pp. 
[l]-6.  Text,  pp.  [7]-80.  Ticknor  and  Fields9 
"New  Books  and  New  Editions  "  occupy  12 
pages  at  end,  dated  March,  1856.

Two  vols. 


[92] 

The  second  volume  opens  with  "A  Fable  for 
Critics."  In  all  previous  editions  the  headline  had 
been,  "A  Fable  for  the  Critics,"  but  in  this  one  it  is 
made  to  conform  to  the  title-page.  \  In  the  first  and 
subsequent  editions  the  date  had  been  "October  the 
21st  day,"  but  in  this  one  it  is  changed  for  the  first 
time  to  "  October  the  31st  day,"  which  has  been  since 
retained.

[4]  To  Charles  F.  Briggs  this  volume  is  affectionately  inscribed. 

[5]  This  jeu  d' esprit  was  extemporized,  I  may  fairly  say,  so 
rapidly  was  it  written,  purely  for  my  own  amusement  and  with 
no  thought  of  publication.  I  sent  daily  instalments  of  it  to  a  friend 
in  New  York,  the  late  Charles  F.  Briggs.  He  urged  me  to  let  it  be 
printed,  and  I  at  last  consented  to  its  anonymous  publication.  The 
secret  was  kept  till  several  persons  had  laid  claim  to  its  authorship.

[viii]  This  edition  is  a  revised  one,  but  as  the  volumes  which  form 
the  substance  of  it  had  been  stereotyped,  it  was  found  easier  to 
cancel  than  to  correct.  Accordingly  several  poems  and  parts  of 
poems  have  been  left  out  of  the  first  volume,  and  their  places  sup 
plied  in  most  instances  by  selections  from  an  earlier  volume,  pub 
lished  in  1841.  These  intercalated  pieces  will  be  found  sufficiently 
designated  by  the  dates  appended  to  each. 

The  second  volume  has  been  made  correspondent  in  size  with 
its  fellows,  by  the  addition  of  some  poems  more  lately  written.

FIRESIDE  TRAVELS 
FIRESIDE  TRAVELS.    By  James  Russell  Lowell. 

"  Travelling  makes  a  man  sit  still  in  his  old  age  with  sat 
isfaction,  and  travel  over  the  world  again  in  his  chair  and  bed 
by  discourse  and  thoughts." 

The  Voyage  of  Italy,  by  RICHARD  LASSELS,  Gent. 
[Publishers' monogram.]  Boston:  Ticknor  and

[ill]  To  W.  W.  S[TOEY]. 

Who  carves  his  thoughts  in  marble  will  not  scorn 
These  pictured  bubbles,  if  so  far  they  fly; 
They  will  recall  days  ruddy  but  with  morn, 
Not  red  like  those  late  past  or  drawing  nigh! 

[v]  The  greater  part  of  this  volume  was  printed  ten  years  ago  in 
"Putnam's  Monthly"  and  "Graham's  Magazine."  The  addi 
tions  (most  of  them  about  Italy)  have  been  made  up,  as  the  original 
was,  from  old  letters  and  journals  written  on  the  spot.  My  wish 
was  to  describe  not  so  much  what  I  went  to  see,  as  what  I  saw 
that  was  most  unlike  what  one  sees  at  home.  If  the  reader  find 
entertainment,  he  will  find  all  I  hoped  to  give  him.

[vi]  [*#*  No  collection  of  the  author's  poems  has  been  made  since 
1848,  and  some  of  those  in  this  volume  date  back  even  farther 
than  that.    All  but  two  of  the  shortest  have  been  printed  before, 
either  wholly  or  in  part.     As  the  greater  number,  however,  were 


[115] 

published  more  than  fifteen  years  ago,  they  will  have,  perhaps, 
something  of  novelty  to  most  readers.  A  few  pieces,  more  strictly 
comic,  have  been  omitted,  as  out  of  keeping;  and  "Fitz  Adam's 
Story,'*  which  some  good  friends  will  miss,  is  also  left  to  stand 
over,  because  it  belongs  to  a  connected  series,  which,  it  is  hoped, 
may  be  completed  if  the  days  should  be  propitious.]

[iii]  PREFATORY  NOTE. 

My  former  volume  of  Essays  has  been  so  kindly  received  that 
I  am  emboldened  to  make  another  and  more  miscellaneous  col 
lection.  The  papers  here  gathered  have  been  written  at  intervals 
during  the  last  fifteen  years,  and  I  knew  no  way  so  effectual  to 
rid  my  mind  of  them  and  make  ready  for  a  new  departure,  as 
this  of  shutting  them  between  two  covers  where  they  can  haunt 
me,  at  least,  no  more.  I  should  have  preferred  a  simpler  title, 
but  publishers  nowadays  are  inexorable  on  this  point,  and  I  was 
too  much  occupied  for  happiness  of  choice.  That  which  I  have 
desperately  snatched  is  meant  to  imply  both  the  books  within 
and  the  world  without,  and  perhaps  may  pass  muster  in  the  case 
of  one  who  has  always  found  his  most  fruitful  study  in  the 
open  air.

A  love  and  honor  which  more  than  thirty  years  have  deep 
ened,  though  priceless  to  him  they  enrich,  are  of  little  import  to 
one  capable  of  inspiring  them.  Yet  I  cannot  deny  myself  the 
pleasure  of  so  far  intruding  on  your  reserve  as  at  least  to  make 
public  my  acknowledgment  of  the  debt  I  can  never  repay.

[iii]  PREFATORY  NOTE 

I  have  been  often  urged  to  reprint  the  articles  which  form  the 
bulk  of  this  volume,  by  persons  who  had  found  them  interesting 
at  the  time  of  their  first  publication,  as  well  as  by  others  who  had 
read  them  more  recently  and  thought  them  of  some  interest 
even  now.  I  have  steadily  refused  to  do  what  was  asked  of  me, 
because  the  greater  part  of  what  is  here  gathered  together  seemed 
to  me  to  have  mainly  a  polemic  value  contemporaneous  with  the 
date  at  which  it  was  written.  I  have  (I  know  not  how  wisely) 
allowed  myself  to  be  persuaded  that  there  was  also  in  these 
papers  a  certain  historical  interest  as  recalling  aspects  of  our 
politics  which  perhaps  it  may  be  useful  not  wholly  to  forget.  In 
looking  at  them  again,  after  so  long  an  interval  (for  the  latest  of 
them  is  more  than  twenty  years  old),  it  gratifies  me  to  find  so 
little  to  regret  in  their  tone,  and  that  I  was  able  to  keep  my  head 
fairly  clear  of  passion  when  my  heart  was  at  boiling-point.

[iii]  NOTE 

The  publication  in  a  volume  of  the  following  Essays  and  Ad 
dresses  is  in  accordance  with  the  intention  of  their  author.  Most 
of  them  had  been  revised  by  him  with  this  end  in  view.  The  only 
one  of  them  concerning  which  there  is  doubt,  whether  he  would 
have  published  it  in  its  present  form,  is  the  paper  on  "Richard 
III."  With  this  he  was  not  satisfied,  and  he  hesitated  in  regard 
to  printing  it.  It  has  seemed  to  me  of  interest  enough  to  warrant 
its  publication. 

The  essay  on  Gray  was  in  large  part  written  more  than  ten 
years  before  it  was  printed  in  the  "New  Princeton  Review,"  in 
1880.  The  essay  on  the  "Areopagitica  "  was  written  at  the 
request  of  the  Grolier  Club,  of  New  York,  for  an  introduction  to 


[130] 

an  edition  of  the  work  specially  printed  for  the  Club.  I  am  in 
debted  to  the  Club  for  permission  to  include  it  in  this  volume.1

[iii}-v  EDITORIAL  NOTE 

In  making  the  following  selection  from  the  great  mass  of  Mr. 
Lowell's  letters  which  was  in  my  hands,  my  attempt  was  to  se 
cure  for  it,  so  far  as  possible,  an  autobiographic  character.  And, 
in  the  main,  this  has  not  been  difficult,  for  few  writers  have  given 
in  their  letters  a  more  faithful  representation  of  themselves,  and 
of  few  men  is  the  epistolary  record  more  complete  from  youth 
to  age.  .  .  .

THE   POWER   OF   SOUND 

THE  POWER  OF  SOUND:  A  Rhymed  Lecture 
by  James  Russell  Lowell.  Privately  printed. 
New  York.  MDCCCXCVI. 

16mo,  pp.  x,  35,  cloth.  The  lecture  occupies 
pp.  1-27,  notes,  31-35.  Reverse  of  p.  35, 
stamp  of  Gillis  Press.  Number  of  copy  in  ink, 
with  initials  of  E.  H.  Holden,  by  whom  the 
publication  was  made.  "Of  this  Edition  of 
The  Power  of  Sound  only  seventy-five  copies 
have  been  printed,  of  which  twenty-five  are 
on  Japanese  paper  and  fifty  on  hand-made." 

The  editor,  Professor  Charles  Eliot  Norton,  says  in  his  in 
troductory  note:  "Mr.  Lowell  did  not  esteem  this  rhymed 
lecture  of  sufficient  worth  to  include  it  in  his  Published  Poems. 
It  is  too  hasty  an  improvisation  to  deserve  the  Imprimatur;  but 
though  his  judgment  of  it  as  a  whole  would  be  accepted  as 
correct,  it  yet  contains  passages  of  such  excellence,  alike  of 
humor  and  sentiment,  and  it  affords  such  illustration  of  his 
convictions  in  regard  to  public  affairs  just  before  our  Civil 
War,  that,  I  believe,  there  can  be  no  question  as  to  the  pro 
priety  of  preserving  it  in  print,  and  I  have  therefore  acceded 
with  pleasure  to  Mr.  Holden 's  proposal  to  print  an  edition  of 
it  for  private  circulation.  I  have  been  unable  to  ascertain  the 
precise  date  either  of  the  writing  or  the  delivery  of  the  lecture; 
nor  do  I  know  how  often,  or,  except  in  a  single  instance  [New- 
buryport,  Mass.],  where  it  was  read  in  public.  An  approxi 
mate  date  for  its  original  composition,  however,  and  for  addi 
tions  subsequently  made  to  it,  may  be  fixed  by  internal  evi- 


[135] 

dence.  There  are  several  references  in  it  to  incidents  which 
occurred  during  the  summer  of  1857,  from  which  it  may  be 
concluded  that  it  was  written  in  the  autumn  or  early  winter  of 
that  year;  while  other  references  in  the  additions  show  that 
the  latest  of  them  belong  to  the  spring  of  1862.  The  only  ex 
isting  copy  of  the  poem  is  in  print  on  galley  slips,  cut  up  so 
as  to  make  twenty-three  pages.  The  margins  of  many  of  these 
pages  are  full  of  corrections  and  additions  written  in  ink  or 
pencil.  It  was  put  into  type  and  cut  up  into  its  present  form 
for  convenience  of  reading  in  public.'*

Vol.  I.    LITERARY  ESSAYS,  i 

PREFATORY  NOTE  TO  THE  ESSAYS 

[v]  The  greater  part  of  the  literary  and  critical  essays  here 
collected  was  originally  written  as  lectures  for  an  audience 
consisting  not  only  of  my  own  classes  but  also  of  such  other 
members  of  the  university  as  might  choose  to  attend  them. 
This  will  account  for,  if  it  do  not  excuse,  a  more  rhetorical 
tone  in  them  here  and  there  than  I  should  have  allowed  myself 
had  I  been  writing  for  the  eye  and  not  the  ear.  They  were 
meant  to  be  suggestive  of  certain  broader  principles  of  criticism 
based  on  the  comparative  study  of  literature  in  its  large  mean 
ing,  rather  than  methodically  pedagogic,  to  stimulate  rather 
than  to  supply  the  place  of  individual  study.  .  .  . 
[vi]  Let  me  add  that  in  preparing  these  papers  for  the  press 
I  omitted  much  illustrative  and  subsidiary  matter,  and  this  I 
regret  when  it  is  too  late.  Five  or  six  lectures,  for  instance, 
were  condensed  into  the  essay  on  Rousseau.  The  dates  attached 
were  those  of  publication,  but  the  bulk  of  the  material  was 
written  many  years  earlier,  some  of  it  so  long  ago  as  1854.  .  .  .

[iii]  PREFATORY  NOTE  TO  THE  POEMS 

There  are  a  great  many  pieces  in  these  volumes,  especially  in 
the  first  of  them,  which  I  would  gladly  suppress  or  put  into  the 
Coventry  of  smaller  print  in  an  appendix.  But  "ilka  mon  maun 
dree  his  weird,"  and  the  avenging  liter  a  scripta  manet  is  that  of 
an  overhasty  author.  Owing  to  the  unjust  distinction  made  by 
the  law  between  literary  and  other  property,  most  of  what  I  pub 
lished  prematurely  has  lost  the  protection  of  copyright,  and  is 
reprinted  by  others  against  my  will.  I  cannot  shake  off  the  bur 
den  of  my  early  indiscretions  if  I  would.  The  best  way,  perhaps, 
is  to  accept  with  silent  contrition  the  consequences  of  one's  own 
mistakes,  and  I  have,  after  much  hesitation,  consented  to  the 
reprinting  of  the  old  editions  without  excision. 

I  must  confess,  however,  that  I  have  attained  this  pitch  of  self- 
sacrifice  only  by  compulsion,  and  should  have  greatly  preferred 
to  increase  the  value  of  this  collection  by  lessening  its  bulk.  The 


0155] 

judicious  reader  will,  I  fear,  distinguish  only  too  easily  what  I 
should  wish,  in  parliamentary  phrase,  "to  be  taken  as  read."  . . .

In  two  volumes. 

"  After  the  publication  of  the  Boston  edition  [1855],  Mr. 
Lowell  scored  the  margins  of  the  volume  with  emendations, 
mainly  of  the  punctuation,  amounting  to  many  hundreds  in 
number.  It  seemed  a  pity  that  this  work  should  be  lost,  and 
the  Grolier  Club  undertook  the  present  edition  for  the  sake  of 
preserving  it.  In  order  to  give  this  issue  still  further  value,  a 
comparison  has  been  made  of  the  texts  of  all  of  the  editions  of 
the  seventeenth  century,  from  the  first  in  1633  to  the  last  in 
1669,  and  the  various  readings  noted.  This  was  done  by 
Mrs.  Burnett,  the  daughter  of  Mr.  Lowell,  and  by  myself,  with 
the  result  which  is  shown  in  the  footnotes."

MANUSCRIPTS 

A  large  quantity  of  Lowell's  notebooks,  manu 
scripts  of  lectures,  newspaper  clippings  of  lec 
tures,  letters,  and  other  materials,  have  been 
given  by  Professor  Charles  Eliot  Norton  to  the 
library  of  Harvard  University.  This  collection 
is  especially  rich  in  letters  from  Lowell's  numer 
ous  friends  and  correspondents.  In  his  letter  of 
presentation  Professor  Norton  describes  these 
letters : 

"There  are  thirteen  (13)  portfolios  containing  letters 
addressed  to  him  by  American  correspondents  for  the  most 
part  previously  to  his  being  sent  to  Spain  as  our  minister. 
The  letters  in  these  portfolios  are  arranged  in  alphabetical 
order,  and  many  of  them  are  of  value  as  autographs,  and 
of  interest  as  illustrating  the  conditions  of  American  litera 
ture  from  about  the  middle  of  the  last  century  onward. 
Many  of  them  contain  interesting  matter  concerning  the 
literary  projects  of  a  time  that  was  full  of  them,  both  in 
New  York  and  in  Boston.  The  little  group  of  authors  who 
tried  to  make  New  York  a  literary  centre,  from  1840  to 
1850,  and  whose  names  even  now>are  almost  forgotten,  are 
well  represented  in  the  letters  of  Duyckinck,  Cornelius  Mat 
thews,  James,  and  others.  There  are  a  number  of  letters 
relating  to  the  early  years  of  the  Atlantic  Monthly;  and  you 
will  see  that  there  is  a  very  considerable  parcel  of  letters  of 
Dr.  Holmes,  and  what  is  perhaps  of  still  more  interest,  a  yet 
larger  parcel  of  letters  of  John  Holmes.  There  is  also  a 
number  of  Whittier's  letters  and  poems. 

"  But,  beside  the  literary  interests  which  are  represented 
in  these  letters,  the  anti-slavery  interests  are  also  largely 


[  208  ] 

illustrated  by  a  very  considerable  number  of  letters  of 
Edmund  Quincy,  of  Wendell  Phillips,  and  of  others,  — 
the  leaders  in  that  cause. 

"Both  these  groups  of  letters  are  imperfect,  because  of 
many  having  been  returned  to  their  writers,  or  to  the  repre 
sentatives  of  their  writers.  Perhaps  the  most  important 
letters  of  early  years  which  are  missing  here  are  those  of 
Charles  F.  Briggs,  who  at  the  time  of  Mr.  Lowell's  begin 
nings  in  literature  was  his  closest  friend  and  most  frequent 
correspondent.  His  letters  have  gone  back  to  his  family, 
who  desired  them.  In  the  case  of  some  other  writers, 
themselves  dead,  but  who  have  living  representatives,  I  have 
obtained  permission  to  retain  their  letters,  and  to  give  them 
to  the  college.  The  most  important  case  of  this  kind  is 
that  of  Mr.  Richard  Grant  White,  whose  numerous  letters 
are  of  more  than  usual  interest. 

"In  addition  to  these  portfolios  are  two  containing  the 
letters  of  numerous  English  correspondents,  of  which 
perhaps  the  most  interesting  are  the  numerous  letters  of 
Judge  Thomas  Hughes ;  but  there  are  many  others  of  liter 
ary  or  other  interest.  These  also  are  arranged  in  alpha 
betical  order,  but  there  are  two  portfolios  in  which  the 
letters  are  not  arranged  alphabetically,  but  chronologically. 
They  are  of  late  years,  —  1885  to  1890,  —  and  the  letters 
are  for  the  most  part  mere  notes,  of  more  interest  for  their 
writer's  sake  than  for  their  conterjts."
